Sauvignon.com Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

The nose shows spiciness and red cherries with dark chocolate complexity. The palate has excellent fruit weight complemented by blackcurrant and spice. The complexity of the wine integrates seamlessly with the oak maturation making this a very well balanced wine. Fine tannins provide added complexity to the lingering finish.

An ideal wine for all barbeque dishes as well as roast pork and spicy chicken kebabs.
